Outlook 2010 needs password after Exchange 2010 reboot

I recently migrated from Exchange 2003 to 2010. Every time there is a connection loss to the server for any reason, Outlook 2010 goes into "need password" mode. Even if the connection is restored.  I turned off "Outlook anywhere" in Exchange 2010 but it still happens.  Any ideas?

Do you have 'Always prompt for logon credentials' ticked in the Security tab of the mailbox properties in Outlook 2010?

Tools -> Account Settings -> Change -> Security tab

Users are not prompted with their 2003 clients. Not an account issue.
The 'Always prompt for logon credentials' is a per Outlook client option, so could be set in 2010 but not in 2003. If it's not set in either however then it's a moot point :)

first you have to check for what exchange is asking for login again & again.
Just do right click on outlook icon in right side task bar just holding up Ctrl key then click on Connection Status and under General Tab check for what it in connecting state. if possible please post a screenshot of it. So that we can suggest you the appropriate solution for the issue.

Still no go. I talked to an engineer who says it is not possible to fix this.  It will always prompt and the only way to get connected is to close and re-open Outlook.

Found a fix..
Create a batch file on the all users desktop with the following:

NET STOP msexchangerpc
Shutdown -r -t 15

Always use this to restart the system. It shuts down the service that causes users to have to log back in. Worked in our case at least.
